Ingo Mogendorf
Ingo Mogendorf (born 1940) is a German-born British actor, typically playing handsome and congenial German officers. He is best remembered as the Red Baron in a dogfight against Rock Hudson in Blake Edwards' '' Darling Lili''. He worked as a male model in London in the 1970s. Life Mogendorf was born in Germany on 2 December 1940. His exact birthplace is unclear but he certainly lived in Wuppertal in West Germany prior to coming to Britain in 1968. Based in London he appears to primarily have been employed as a model but with frequent acting roles both in film and television. He was invariably cast as the handsome and genial German and often used to contrast with more Nazi-style counterparts. Mogendorf retired from acting in 1983/84 and moved to Puerto Banus near Marbella on the south coast of Spain, where he invested in a night-club.

Red Baron
Red is the color at the long wavelength end of the visible spectrum of light, next to orange and opposite violet. It has a dominant wavelength of approximately 625–750 nanometres. It is a primary color in the RGB color model and a secondary color (made from magenta and yellow) in the CMYK color model, and is the complementary color of cyan. Reds range from the brilliant yellow-tinged scarlet and vermillion to bluish-red crimson, and vary in shade from the pale red pink to the dark red burgundy. Red pigment made from ochre was one of the first colors used in prehistoric art. The Ancient Egyptians and Mayans colored their faces red in ceremonies; Roman generals had their bodies colored red to celebrate victories. It was also an important color in China, where it was used to color early pottery and later the gates and walls of palaces. In the Renaissance, the brilliant red costumes for the nobility and wealthy were dyed with kermes and cochineal. The 19th ce ...

''The Brief'' is a British drama series produced for ITV by Television South (TVS) at its Southampton studios. The thirteen episodes were broadcast between 26 June and 18 September in 1984.
